Re: Boost gauge question (tattooed)

Another vote for the Autometer Vac / Boost gauge. For the fitting, if you are going to put a "T" fitting in a large line like the power brake booster, you might as well get a unit that has more than...

Re: Generally how long does a stock clutch last when adding a procharger? (SleepieAce)

From a dead stop (after supercharging), mine (F-body) slipped when it had 13,000 miles on it. From a roll, it just burns tires and not clutches.

But after putting DR's on, it will slip a bit at...

Re: from nitrous to super charger (oufan2929)

I wondered that same thing when I was considering moving to ATI (from nitrous) on my Firebird Formula. I can say that I'm glad I did - the power is there, it feels wicked, and the coolness factor is...

Re: What type of spark plugs do I need for nitrous and who sells them? (corvette184)

The NGK TR-6 are exactly what you want. You last got mine through Summit Racing by calling their tech line, 1-800-230-3030

Re: Anyone ever try GoodYear Poly V belt's? (Red C5)

I had the same experience as Peter (Red C5) > The belt ATI shipped me was better than the Goodyear. The ATI-supplied belt never slipped, but the Goodyear did. Supposedly the exact same length...

Re: Nitrous DRY kit owners, please advise. (Apollyon)

That sucks that you are having problems. I hate hearing about guys having problems with dry - I had great luck with it on my Firebird. It stayed below 13.4/1 throughout the whole shot, and never...

Re: It's official. 5177 kit does not work on the Vette. (zoomz)

Sucks that it didn't work on your C5. I know two local guys here (same car club) that run that kit on their stock C5's, and the A/F stays in a safer area. It does spike at first, but then pulls...

Re: Difference in pounds of boost in cooler weather and why? (supercoupe01)

Same reason you get higher boost at sea level than you do at places like Denver. Although the blower is spinning the same speed, the air density is higher at low temps than it is warm. The...

Re: 5177 works great!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the help guys (zoomz)

I knew you'd like it! I know the Wet kits have big supporters, but I always always always put Dry on if given a choice. It is just so much easier, and I tend to trust ECM more than I trust...

Re: Headers and removing cats on FI car? (hogurt)

Corvette184 - Your car looks awesome! Great tire/wheel combo, and the supercharger is a nice touch.

I don't have a clip of headers and gutted (or missing) cats. I do have friends that run like...

Re: What is going on???? NOS Tech told me not to use the 5177 kit on a Vette!!!! (zoomz)

Just to confirm that one correction >> The F-body kits do NOT flow nitrous through the air filter. They (dry kits) spray after the air filter, and before the MAF - exactly like the Vette's will. ...

Re: NOS 5177 Users; Any Issues? (Apollyon)

I ran the NOS 5177 kit over a year on my F-body (Firebird Formula). Other than some growing pains getting the FPSS adjusted, I had no issues. I ran all the safety stuff like window switch, inline...

No mods except fuel injectors (42#) and fuel pumps. I still have the stock exhaust manifolds and cats. With only 91 octane available, running 8 pounds of boost, I can't go more than 17 degrees...

Re: Is everyone happy with their ATI Procharger? (tattooed)

Non on a Vette, but I can say I'm 100% pleased with my ATI on my F-body (Firebird Formula). It put the power down, it never misses a beat, and it was money well spent. I'm glad I went with this...

Re: A really Dumb, but easy, NO2 question (diynoob)

There is NEVER a reason to engage nitrous at part throttle - that's why all the switches are available to make sure you are WOT, and even better - operating only in a 3K-6K range.

The switches are...

Re: MagnaCharger and NOS? (Nitro-C5)

He runs a Magnacharger, and sprays nitrous on it as well. Best I...

Re: ATI tuning... What/who did you use?? (SleepieAce)

I still contend that the best way to tune YOUR specific car is on a Dyno. I had the shop that did mine give me a complete turn-key to my specs. I can't imagine how someone over the internet could...

Re: emissions testing with FI install (Bigben)

Roadside smog checks are legal. Bullpoopie, yes. But legal. Much like a sobriety checkpoint, just with cars instead of driver's breath. Isn't CA great!
